Globalism: A Utopian Nightmare
Do you sometimes feel that the America you grew up in is vanishing
before your eyes? You are not imagining things. Sadly, you’re seeing
the noxious result of efforts by a relatively small group of globalists
who contend that we must “fundamentally transform” America to fit into a new
global order.
Throughout the centuries, numerous attempts have been made
to establish a worldwide government without acknowledging or honoring God in
the process. These attempts have met with failure. The first recorded attempt
at a one-world order followed the Great Flood. After the Flood, Noah and his
family were told by the Lord to multiply and fill the earth. For a time, they followed
God’s loving plan of decentralization: “The peoples spread out on their own
lands, each with his own language, by their families within their nations.”1
However, a few generations later, Nimrod, one of Noah’s
great-grandsons and the founder of Nineveh, created a scheme for centralized
world power. He built numerous cities and enticed all the families of the earth
to submit to his scheme of government. In direct rebellion against God’s
command, the people under Nimrod arrogantly set out to build the first
“skyscraper”—a so-called tower into heaven.2
The Tower of Babel was man’s first attempt at salvation
through a counterfeit Messiah—“state” [government] worship disguised as
religion. The Lord prevented this by confusing the languages of the people and
forcing a worldwide dispersion of families and tribes.
National rulers are warned of the danger of scheming and
conspiring together against the Lord. Psalm 2 says: “The kings of the earth
band themselves, and the princes [rulers] are assembled together against the
Lord, and against His Christ… But He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh;
the Lord shall have them in derision [contempt].”
The Ruler of the Universe then offers hope: “Be instructed
and warned you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with reverent awe and
worshipful fear. Rejoice and be in high spirits with trembling. Kiss the Son
[bow, pay homage] lest He be angry and you perish in the way… blessed [happy,
fortunate] are all those who seek refuge and put their trust in Him.”
All pagan empires since Babel have been throttled by God in
their drive for world domination. Nebuchadnezzar was turned into a grass-eating
beast, crawling about on all fours. Alexander the Great died unexpectedly at
the age of thirty-three on the verge of conquering the known world. Julius
Caesar’s dream of world conquest ended with his assassination in the Roman
senate. Napoleon’s plan of world empire ended on the blood-drenched fields of
Waterloo. Adolf Hitler’s plan of world dominion by the Third Reich ended with his
suicide in a Berlin bunker.
America’s Christian ancestors formed families, churches,
towns and colonies that created a level of personal liberty unknown in history.
They lived out the divine plan to liberate and disciple the nations through
personal, voluntary transformation of individuals rather than top-down, forced
coercion. They did not succumb to the big-government, forced centralization
which enslaved the world in their time.3
Then our Founders led the colonies together to form a
nation. They created a decentralized, representative government that closely
followed the republic established by Moses.4 They crafted a divinely inspired
plan for limited government, memorializing it in our Declaration of
Independence and U.S. Constitution. America’s founding documents drive almost
all power back to the “people” and the “States,” away from centralization and
globalization.5
Our Founders stood in unity against any all-powerful
national government, let alone a global government. Thomas Jefferson represented
the view of our Founders when he wrote in 1816: “What has destroyed liberty and
the rights of man in every government which has ever existed under the sun? The
generalizing and concentrating all cares and powers into one [governing]
body…”6
What about today? Whatever the results of the election this
month, we can be assured that the long-term prospects for globalists do not
look good. Even now the European Union, with its unelected rulers, is crumbling
in large part because of the brave English vote for BREXIT in June. The United
Nations has failed as a world peace maker and is in chaos. And the communist
dictators (in Russia, China, etc.) who still promote the lie of Karl Marx’s
utopian “workers’ paradise” will fail like all others before them.
Will Americans continue to be pulled into the “utopian
nightmare” of globalism? We don’t need to be. Instead we can boldly reassert
our God-given rights and responsibilities to be self-governing and hold our
representatives accountable to the Constitution. As Jefferson said, we must
“bind the tyrants down with the chains of the Constitution.” Only then, can we
leave our children an America that is a shining “City on a Hill” once again.
